    <description>&lt;P&gt;Is there any way to use iLogic to automate the process of checking the "Weld Annotations" box in the Display Options tab of the Drawing View form?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="DrawingViewForm.jpg" style="width: 669px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/290061iE2E2F5B6AE3EB96C/image-dimensions/669x383?v=v2" width="669" height="383" role="button" title="DrawingViewForm.jpg" alt="DrawingViewForm.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;﻿&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was trying to find something similar to this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;oView.DisplayTangentEdges = True&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;But it does not seem like the API exposes that checkbox - at least not through the DrawingView object. Perhaps there is a way I can have iLogic actually open the form and select the checkbox?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello Richard,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is poorly/not supported in the API...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;look at this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm afraid that doesn't resolve my particular issue. I'm trying to create an idw that automates the creation of a welded assembly and then 'draws' the assembly. When the geometry changes during this process, the caterpillar weld annotations need to be refreshed. I've managed to create weld symbols that disappear and reappear as needed (Thankfully, because as you've mentioned it is not exposed by the API).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm afraid that what I want to do is not exposed by the API either. As a last resort, I'm hoping to find a way to have iLogic select the 'Weld Annotations' checkbox and click 'OK' in the Drawing View form, similar to this browser node selection process for dealing with weld suppression:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A title="Run command on browser item" href="http://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2014/04/run-command-on-browser-item.html" target="_blank"&gt;Run command on browser item&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here is an image of the caterpillar weld issue just in case I am not articulating it well enough:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="WeldIssue.jpg" style="width: 244px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/292605i7E6EA7ACB4D032DF/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="WeldIssue.jpg" alt="WeldIssue.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;﻿&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;thanks for the image, it makes the problem much&amp;nbsp;clearer.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;but the answer.....&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I don't use welds much, because getting the welds from 3D to 2D didn't work alway well. (maybe this is better now?)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;this will not be easy..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;maybe you can do something with layers...?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If I can think of something more helpfull I will type it here.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Please add this to the API&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have no control over the API. You'll need to ask Autodesk.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
